I like pithy quotes like this, but I can’t help feeling we over rely on them/take stuff like this too seriously.

There is no rule that everything has to get boring after 35. If you think like that it’s kind of a self fulfilling prophecy.

Douglas Adams wrote comedy books so I think we're safe.

But the quote is being used as an explanation and not as a joke.

It's an observation of human behavior, not a rule, and noticing it makes it easier for us to do something about it.
